I really love new interpretations of songs by musicians. Rush have some amazing bands cover them. Even Nelly Furtado did a cover of "Time Stand Still"!
Any way I want share this cover with every one. Top link is the cover the bottom one is the original. I hope you enjoy them.
So different but both are brilliant.
That's waaaaay too much of too much!
I love the fact that bands are covering Rush and this song, I think Opeth would do a better version.
Blimey, never seen that
reminds me why I started to dislike DT so much, LaBrie is dreadful
anyway less of the DT shit.....this is way more fun
brilliant

Enchant generally covering Rush. Ed Sheeran would be proud.
inspired by the HYF discussion.
This has long been a favourite. Best one on Paul's
Rock Swings album. Some of the covers on there work well, others don't. This one is simply brilliant.

Yes its a great album.
Possibly the definitive cover version is Jimi's take on
All Along The Watchtower, a Bob Dylan song of course.
U2 also covered it in the late '80s as I'm sure everyone remembers. When I heard their version I thought they'd made a schoolboy error by getting the chords wrong, but in fact their version was true to Dylan's original, which only has three chords.
Hendrix improved it massively by selectively substituting a relative minor over the middle major chord in the main three chord riff, so it has four chords.
That said, I like Bob's version a lot as well. Don't much like the U2 one.

Nah, not even the definitive version of that song. That would be the Mahogany Rush version on Tales Of The Unexpected ;)
I loved Mahogany Rush back then and bought that album the day it came out - unfortunately to me it's always been their shark-jumping moment. That cover of Norwegian Wood especially - WTF
But I don't think Frank gets the credit he deserves as a player, sure he based his style on Hendrix but he took it a bit further in some ways.

S'funny, I've always liked that Norwegian Wood cover too!
Yes, obviously hugely inspired by Jimi in the early days but (from a non-guitar player perspective) he'd already got pretty jazzy (that album's title track, for instance) and (to my ears) had a cleaner tone (used far less distortion than Hendrix?). Although, without a doubt, Hendrix was the true innovator transforming guitar playing, possibly more than any other. But IMHO Frank is a better vocalist
Shame he's had to pack it all in due to illness. A great player and recording artist and yet, in all the interviews I've ever read/listened to, comes across as a very humble individual.
(There's some great stuff on the later albums)
Just found this. Absolute class. Freakin' awesome suit too!
Remember Spirit and Randy California, he could play guitar. All along the watchtower.
A bit different to the Sabs
War Pigs I suppose.
A relatively recent franchise of the Glory or Death label did 2 sets of covers from their label bands.
Part 1 is Thin Lizzy, part 2 Deep Purple. I really like this type of thing, it is not pristine in any way, often I wonder when it will all come crashing down, but then it doesn't.
Have a listen if that's your type of thing, it's a bit Stoner / Doomy type of music. So very much rooted in the period TL & DP were active (and relevant).

This one's quite different from the original as well. I had this album back in the day, early days in London. '95 or so I think. Happy times.
I watch a best of the OGWT the other night and this came on, brilliant:
I've just been investigating the music of The Dust Coda, and this caught me by surprise:

Love that. It's so good to see musicians enjoying themselves.
Brilliant cover of a brilliant tune.

Yes indeed. My wife showed me this when it first aired.
This is a pretty good playlist by Spotify of Cover songs if that's your thing.

It's better than their dire version of Land Of Confusion at least.

Not heard that. Will hive it a listen!
Quote from: David L on October 25, 2022, 10:57:35 PMThis is dire.
Yes, that's awful. I like the orchestral parts a lot but the rock instrumentation is very clumsy.

Absolutely detest that. Planet Rock are always playing for it and it has me running to the radio to turn off. Horrible.

Saw the cardigans many times in their early days. Great great band and Nina gave me the right horn. Not 'Alf!
I mentioned this cover in the Albums of the Year 2022 thread, and here it is . . .
More than acceptable, I thought:

The Spirit of Radio feat. Dave Grohl and Jack Black........and no guitar!
This is fun, Dio without a singer
Great, love the Muppets ;D
Alright people, time to lock and load. I sat through the entire thing, I dare you to do the same.
Love the hat though, it suits him, not so sure about the laser gloves.
